Our home is on solid clay. So after reading a lot of info on the top of the soil layer method that is what I went for, for 2 reasons: 1) no digging or removing old sod; 2) it was so easy that I just couldn't believe it.

I moved very close the grass, then next laid newspapers about 10 - 12 sheets and then laid the weed blocker. Then I purchase 40 yards of top soil/sweet peat/leaf humus. You will have to add each year as it does seem to disappear into your ground...LOL

Seeing as how I lived in Kentucky for almost 20 years I learn a lot about sweet peat, this is horse manure. This is my #1 favorite for amending flower beds.

here is a beginning shot of the bed to the right of the front door.
